Listen, General. We would get the neighboring countries to build walls that surround ISIS. And ISIS would pay for these walls. I think that would work.

Trump would just fire him and get another general who’ll do what he wants.

Crash and burn.

So Wharton Business School has courses in military strategy? Who knew?

Or perhaps, like Lindsey Graham, Trump got his strategic training from his time in the military?

Trump knows you can’t do that, but the rubes he’s talking to don’t know that. The rubes just hear that and think “F**k ya! USA!”. The rubes are completely delusional and think the world is a Dirty Harry movie with Uncle Sam playing the role of DH. They will eat this stuff up, and Trump knows it.

"I’d bomb the hell out of the oil fields,” he said. “I’d then get Exxon, I’d then get these great oil companies to go in — they would rebuild them so fast your head will spin … you ever see how fast they put up rigs? These guys are unbelievable.”

There’s something very Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland planning to put on a play in the barn about this statement. It’s only missing “Gee whiz! Do you think we could! Oh, can’t you just see it?”

"In order to resolve that, you need countries of the Middle East and those surrounding the Middle East to be involved in the solution.”

Yup. And the country you need is one with a professional military that won’t haul ass when ISIS shows up. One ideologically opposed to ISIS and one that considers them a threat and an enemy. And a country that needs you as much as you need it. The best fit: Iran. So you begin a detente. But what the fuck does a 4 star General know? I realize his name is of Italian origin but it could easily be painted as Mexican…a damn rapist.

Or I guess you could bomb bomb bomb Iran while you were bombing oil fields for Exxon.

Yes indeed, and instead of succinctly explaining exactly why Trump is spouting bullshit, the General goes off into a military-speak discourse, stating disagreement with Trump only at the end when pressed.

A simple: “Donald Trump is rat-fucking nuts; next question!” would have been far better.

“What we want to do is try to stop… a group that is potentially attempting to be a long-term influence in the Middle East, that is clearly promoting extremism and frankly suppressing the populations in the Middle East,"

That group’s name: The Republican Party.

Like all Teabaggers, Captain Combover’s first solution to any problem is to send in the Marines…as long as HE doesn’t have to go.

“Thank you for your service.”

attempting to be a long-term influence in the Middle East, that is
clearly promoting extremism and frankly suppressing the populations in
the Middle East," Odierno said, according to the publication. "In order
to resolve that, you need countries of the Middle East and those
surrounding the Middle East to be involved in the solution.”

Is he talking about Saudi Arabia or ISIL?

the General is just being diplomatic on the off chance that Donnie Dipstick could actually become his boss…

Seven Days in May anyone?

Trump response - that general is a loser and he is just saying that to bolster his TV ratings. That press conference got a lot fewer viewers than my show which, frankly(tm), is why my plan will work.
